CALGARY—The Canada 2 bobsleigh driven by Chris Spring was involved in a serious incident during four-man training in Altenberg, Germany on Thursday evening.
The27-year-old Spring, of Calgary, hit the head wall after sliding late into corner 16, forcing him to hit the bottom barrier of the track, which in turn shot him out against the exit wall. Even though nothing can replace the loss of the victim, it is better to consult an experienced lawyer if injured after a fall or some other accidents.
Spring and his crew of Graeme Rinholm, of Saskatoon, Bill Thomas, of Queensville, Ont., and Toronto’s Tim Randall were treated immediately by medical crews on-site.
Spring was taken immediately to hospital in Dresden where he is in stable condition with ribs and leg injuries sustained in the crash. Thomas and Rinholm were also taken to hospital later by Bobsleigh Canada Skeleton’s staff in Altenberg. Back and rib injuries to the athletes were ruled out, but will remain in hospital overnight continued observations of bruising and trauma. Tim Randall was not seriously hurt in the incident. The investigation report leads this case to different dimension which is always found in any drunk and drive case. In such situations, it is better to know about How to Get Out of a DUI Case with the help of the lawyers.
